Reservoir Cap 95488446

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Reservoir Cap 95488446

Post by Saraphi » Tue Mar 30, 2021 4:18 am

Unfortunately whilst my XM was languishing at J & N Autos waiting to get the top mounts fixed it's reservoir cap went walkabout and despite a thorough search this morning no trace of it remains.
Can anyone help please, bearing in mind it will need shipping to Thailand?

Which reservoir, coolant or Lhm?

Just order one from your local dealer.

That pt.no. is the LHM reservoir cap, and NFP.
Same part as fitted to BX etc etc etc etc.
If you google the number, there are several new ones on eBay.

You're right Chris, there are 3. Unfortunately none of them ship to Thailand.

We in the UK now have the same problem.
EU suppliers of single items now refuse to dispatch to the UK.
Have had a couple of Ebay purchases of single items cancelled and refunded in the last couple of months.
None of those suppliers were willing to deduct vat which is no longer payable on exports to the UK.
Those items that have got through were placed with a supplier set up for bulk import delivery.
Saraphi perhaps EU based Chris is willing to buy for you and post on to Thailand.
If not then PM me and I will see if I can make a similar arrangement through a contact in Switzerland.

John, you're right... It is getting increasingly difficult to get small packages, particularly "commercial" ones, in and out of the UK. Bad enough that many small UK sellers of individual items have for years been unwilling to dispatch an item to an address outside the UK - This item cannot be dispatched to your address... etc - even when there is no 'sales territory' to be respected. Could be a bit of classic British "Fog in Channel, Continent Isolated", but I suspect just sheer laziness on the part of many sellers who could not be bothered with the previous utterly straightforward business of sending a parcel to anywhere in the EU (or indeed anywhere) from their local proper Post Office.

Anyway, Brexit has now screwed things up properly. I recently placed an order with Chevronics UK for two items, delivery to here in Spain, total £76 plus postage. Chevronics, correctly now, did not add VAT, and the parcel arrived a couple of weeks later courtesy of Correos here and FedEx. FedEx?? FedEx had been handed the package by Correos, whose customs office had calculated the VAT due - on the goods, the postal and courier costs, and their own and FedEx's fees! FedEx's fee was €15 . . . for collecting the tax due . . . which they had been sub-contracted to do by Correos.

Long-and-short, I had to cough up €44 to the courier before he would leave the parcel. In the end, the all-in cost of two pairs of NOS BX mudflaps was €179 :shock: . Pre-Brexit, none of this palaver, paperwork and on-cost would have happened. Little wonder that many small sellers, and large sellers of small deliveries, have now given up.

Amazon, eBay and co have sidestepped much of this by collecting VAT (at the appropriate rate) at the point of purchase, even when packages are being sent to another country. They had no choice: millions of customers would have deserted them if faced with local tax payments, fees and paperwork. I see that the big guys in China (eg AliExpress) are now shipping small packages in bulk to their central warehouses (in our case, just outside Madrid), who then re-pack for a local postal delivery to the customer in Spain.

This chaos is now also hitting family presents sent from UK to family abroad, apparently. The odd M&S jumper, or pot of special marmalade, now attracts customs declaration paperwork and VAT documents. It will get worse before it gets better, I think.
